The answer is D. Metaphor
A metaphor a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable. Unlike a simile, it doesn’t use the words like or as to compare to things. So when you look at the sentence it says “The goalkeeper was a rock...” We know that the goalkeeper isn’t actually a rock, but the sentence is comparing the goal keeper to a rock without using the words “like or as”
Answer:
C. As compared with
Explanation:
I believe it is C because you compare the antonym to the synonym and the synonym is the opposite of the antonym.
D All the above should be the correct answer
I believe the correct answer is B. The modifier "wearing a blue dress" is placed far from the noun which is supposed to modify - Stacey. Such as it is, it could easily be attributed to another noun, the stage. It would seem that the stage was wearing a blue dress, rather than Stacey. This is easily fixable with a comma between "stage" and "wearing".
The C and D sentences are also a little bit awkward, but they don't contain a misplaced modifier.
